Advancing the Security That Protects Millions of U.S. Sports Fans

Industry:	Sports and Entertainment
Client:	Nationally Prominent Professional Sports League
Service:	Major Event Security Assessment

Client’s Challenge: As part of its mission to support and enhance the operations of the nationally dispersed sports teams that comprise its membership base, the leaders of the shared services organization dedicated to supporting an internationally recognized U.S. professional sports league asked Hillard Heintze to conduct an assessment of the security and emergency preparedness capabilities currently in place at every one of its members' sporting venues.

The Hillard Heintze Solution: Over the course of several months, Hillard Heintze's major event security experts visited dozens of the league's sporting venues in nearly every U.S. state and – in the course of its due diligence – evaluated the risks specific to each event location; met with stakeholders; reviewed all related documentation; observed and assessed gameday operations; and submitted highly tailored recommendations to each franchise's management team.

Impact on the Client’s Business: At each one of these venues, management is better informed, not just about the risks, threats and vulnerabilities that confront their fans, players and employees but also on what actions, priorities and investments they need to take – now and over time – to advance the security of their operations.
